Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare, inflammatory disease characterized by acute-onset fever, neutrophilia, erythematous and painful skin lesions, a typical neutrophil infiltrate in the upper dermis, and rapid improvement with systemic corticosteroids.

It presents typical and atypical forms, the former meet all diagnostic criteria and the causes can be neoplastic, infectious, drugs, pregnancy, and sometimes idiopathic.

We present a case of typical Sweet syndrome in a woman, probably triggered by an infectious picture of the upper airways with histological confirmation and good response to corticosteroid therapy, with total remission and no recurrence to date.
